Re: P-47 pilot killed in L-5 crash 21 Jan 1945

Hello,
Have looke and could only finf the following P-47's for the 21st Jan 45.
France: 324FG/316FS - Heath, Nuckolls B.- 42-26811.
France: 324FG/316FS - Treitz, Richard H. - 42-27978.
Belgium: 366FG.389FS - Robinson, A. S. - 42-27377.
Belgium: 373FG/412FS - Burns, Robert G. - 42-7900.
Belgium: 48FG/493FS - Cole, Minor T. - 42-28625.
Germany: 366FG/390FS - Aageberg, James B. - 44-20424.
2 in Italy and 1 in FE.
Aageberg's macr has that his chute failed but a "Cub" was seen to be circling the area.
Perhaps trees sved him and the "Cub" picked him up only to be lost with the "Cub" ?
The other that might be is the Treitz loss, this might explain the "Typo" of the Reiter name if Treitz was the passenger ?

Alex
